I just want to know normally what kind of music you use for your show? Any tips?

I've only used music ONCE when i did a miser's dream parlor style before.
I think i used something from cafe del mar.....so very ambience.
What's good? I think one thing to consider is the pace of your performance. Whether it's vibrant and fast-paced, or slower and lighter, so to have the tempo of the music matching it. It might help if you can put a profile to your general audience, and choose music that they will recognise or like.

I liked using music that time, it worked very well and it took the stress off the patter. And it helped me paced myself so i wasn't rushing thru the routine or going too slow.

If i perform i tink i will use zhou jie lun's music.... :wub:

esp from his new qi li xiang album, then 1/2 way i can do a little hip hop dancing...
tink like tat more interesting...

err... right... maybe you can show us one day? how about on the meeting day? :P

I love Alittle Gothic and Dark Music Rock and stuff hahahaha.. :P But as long as the music is nice I will listen to it .. :D

well well.....you dun say illusionist....:)

So who do u listen to for gothic and "dark rock" music?

Normally those music I lend from my Gf one she love all this kind of music so some how I also start listen to it.. But don't really know the name to them Marilyn Manson is one of my fav I guess lol.. :P

Oh yes!!!! Marilyn Manson!!! Love his rendition of SWEET DREAMS and DOPE SHOW... Pity my folks threw out my Mechanical Animals CD :( Used to be very into him when I was studying in Poly... LOL...

anyone tried putting on "mission impossible"?

That would be instantly recognisable, albeit a little cliche......i think.

I think it will work very well if you use it as a comic effect thou.....or it fits the pace of your performance very well...

Beware of copyright issues when using music for shows. There's a couple of cds released for use of magic performance such as Barry White and Jay Scott Berry. These music are more to new age.
